Actually, the last figures I saw for registered voters in the 4 Villages counties (Marion, Sumter, and Lake, showed percentages of around 48-49% Democrats and Others vs. 51% Republicans. I don't call that an overwhelming number of conservative voters. Democrats are in the minority, but not by much. But I do agree that the Sun has a distinct conservative slant. Many, many people comment on that, and consequently choose to read other newspapers that offer a more balanced view. We read the Orlando Sentinel, and just check the Daily Fun for local news and sports scores.
